00:02 I just sometimes want to be alone,
00:07 where I'm not somebody's wife, not somebody's mother,
00:12 where I'm not defined by tragedy.
00:14 Don't you ever miss it, home?
00:25 I like our life here.
00:26 [GIGGLING]
00:29 The help that drives us makes everything easier.
00:32 I see his family.
00:34 You know you always say that, right?
00:36 You're her employer, not her friend.
00:38 You know, Hong Kong was supposed
00:43 to be a fresh start for me.
00:45 A fresh start, really?
00:46 At 24?
00:47 I think my marriage is over.
00:52 Has David been home?
00:53 No, ma'am.
00:54 Why am I still doing it?
00:57 Do you ever imagine yourself living
00:59 a completely different life?
01:00 Go grab it!
01:08 You don't want to be seen!
01:11 You're just watching them every second,
01:13 even when your eyes are closed.
01:15 And I have no idea how it happened.
01:25 No one should ever have to go through what you're going through.
01:28 I think we need to think about getting out of here.
01:33 We're drowning and you don't see it.
01:35 The minute our feet leave Hong Kong soil,
01:38 we are abandoning our son.
01:42 Why is she here?
01:43 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:45 Not a moment goes by where I'm not
01:59 thinking about what I've done.
02:03 People like me, do they ever move on?
02:05 You're not betraying anyone by trying to live a better life.
02:11 [MUSIC PLAYING]
02:14 We all need to keep living.
02:16 [MUSIC PLAYING]
02:19 Even you.
